- How to make DIY Solid Lotion, Body Butter, Massage bars, that are non-greasy or sticky, with full recipe. Plus, how to wrap, package and label your bars. They're great for travel or in your bag, and they also make a great lip balm too 😘 #bodybutter #diy #homemadelotion #solidlotion #skinfood
Basic recipe:
3 oz Coconut oil
3 oz luxury butter (I'm using a combo of Shea and Cocoa)
3 oz liquid oil ( I'm using a combo of Jojoba, Hempseed and or Almond oils)
4 oz Beeswax (you can use a bit more or less depending on how hard you like your bars)
1/4 t or less Vit E oil (I just used a squeeze)
1/4 t Carrot powder or Colloidal Oats
1/4 t Arrowroot powder (you can use all arrowroot, if you don't have carrot powder)
.2 oz Fragrance (I used approx. 4 ml) or Essential oils of choice (please use usage calculator)

The coffee filter is such a great idea. Totally using this! I love your channel Ellen Ruth ❤️ I feel so at ease and relaxed watching all your videos. You're a blessing!
Thank you so much!
Thanks for this simple recipe. Colloidal oats are extremely finely milled, not gritty, and very soothing to skin, especially if it’s irritated for any reason.
I made these and they came out amazing! Thank you Ellen
🥰💕
Will definitely try to make this lotion . Thank you for sharing 😃👍
Thanks for watching 💕
Thank you for this great information! I can't wait to try your recipe. I ordered the bee molds (of course! I'm a beekeeper!). They are so cute! I also ordered some of the other things in your links--very helpful! I was looking for a good vid for making lotion bars and looked at a lot of them--yours was the best. Thanks again!
Thanks so much! Have fun making!
I still have not tried the solid lotion bars but they look very interesting. Thank you so much for showing me your Technique.
You are so welcome!
I gave it a shot Ellen!! I didnt have enough almond oil so i used grapeseed oil instead, the rest of the ingredients I already have! even the mold, tins and craft paper coffe filters!! cant wait to pop them out of the molds! Thats the best part! Soooo satisfying!!! Thanks again for ur awesome videos!!!
I can't wait to try my hand in lotion bars now. So excited, and you make it look so simple and easy. My luck I'll mess it up, lol! But you will never get good at something if you never try to do it. Thank you for sharing with us all!!!
Definitely give it a try, you won’t mess up😉💕
I made some with your recipe! I loved them and so does my family. The coffee filters worked great ❤
Glad you like them!
You are awesome, especially more so when adding your recipe to the mix, of your tutorial ❤️
Thanks so much 😊
You made them all look so yummy. Like you I LOVE using hem oil. These look so easy to use and they look like they would definitely stand up yo pursehood. ☺
Cheers and Blessings 💕👍
🥰💕
love the packaging, I need to get the coffee filters, helps with them sticking to the tin, I use the same molds and tins and same online labels
This is a great recipe! I infuse my jojoba oil with calendula flowers which I grow myself for that extra healing element, I love the addition of the oats, have some to use up ;)
Love this video ❤ Thank you for sharing
Thanks for watching!
Love love ❤️ your channel
Grateful for such an informative tutorial! I’m starting a business with my special needs adult son.
Wow so love watching you do your thing from here in Barbados ! Thank you for sharing your recipe! You seem really nice . God bless you ! I just started my cosmetic business but we are in a Covid lock down here so I have some challenges but i am hopeful
Thank you so much for watching 🥰
Thank you for your video… I appreciate all your information 🌸
Thanks for watching!
I love this recipe. I added some gold shimmer Mica and my customers love them. Thanks Ellen
Sounds great!
Still using your other recipe of these, but will try this one also as I see a couple different ingredient changes, nice. Many thanks beautiful Lady 😘
🥰 enjoy💕
Thank You for sharing 😃
My pleasure 😊
Just reminding you that you are awesome! Love your vids!
Oh thank you!🥰
Thanks Ellen, I am going to try it. Had some of my customers ask for lotions bars.
Hope you like it!
❤ love your videos Ellen. I’m in Canada 🇨🇦. You have given me motivation to start my own little business, mostly for bartering in the near future when the Digital Currency starts which seems to be coming quickly. I am a retired floral designer not by choice but by health reasons and I couldn’t find anything that would be suitable for me until I found your channel. I love your videos. Most professional and your the sweetest person I’ve seen on this platform. God bless you ❤🙏🏼✝️🇺🇸
Beautiful bars
🥰💕
Vanilla buttercream ! 😍😍 Yessss
So good!💕
Your such an inspiration
Thank you💕
You've inspired me to make lotion bars! I've wanted to for a while now...but I had no idea it could be this simple! Thank you so much for sharing your recipe and knowledge!
You're welcome 💕 have fun making!
Does this have to cure for any amount of time?
I will try this recipe with Rice Bran Oil and Sunflower Oil. Will work out the percentages and cut it in half. Have some multi cavity molds that are small to try it out. They look so cute! ♥️🤍🖤🇹🇹
Wonderful! Have fun creating!
Ellen, Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge with us. I made these lotion bars and they are the best! I used it on dry areas and the next day, I still felt the moisture softness where I had used the bar. This is better than any lotion or salve I have tried before. I also bought the adorable bee mold, but am thinking that I may like a 2oz bar instead. Wish they made the same mold larger. Thank you again!
🥰 I’m so glad you’re enjoying the recipe, I love it too💕
I’m going to try these!! They look soo moisturizing!! Thanks for sharing!!
👍 let me know how you like them 💕
@@EllenRuthSoap thanks for your videos ❤️
Can we use cupcakes papers? Instead of cofee filters?
@@nouramohamed6378 yes 👍
Thank You.
You are super amazing 👏 ❤, love to listen You. All the best 👍
🥰💕
Your smile and laugh is so comforting. Im sorry it that's weird!
Awww🥰 thank you, you're sweet!
I've tried your last recipe and I have to say - I love it!! I didn't have any dry ingredients there, but even without them the solid lotion is really good! It has brought me well through the year as a hand cream, because of the extreme amount of hand washing due to Covid-19, as a substitute for lip balm in winter - just for everything. Thanks for sharing your recipe 😍.
🎉 so glad you gave it a try 💕
Hi Ellen thank you so much for sharing all you lovely body care products. I made these and I had some coffee filters just like yours however I got to thinking if I had something that would fit better and I discovered that I had some brown muffin liners and they fit perfectly and no need to cut. Just a suggestion. Thank you again so much.
Thanks! It's such funny timing that you wrote this.. I was just restocking my lotion bars today! I've tried the muffin liners and they do fit the tin, however I like the extra fluff in there for shipping with the coffee filters... But the muffin liners look really cute too!
thanks for the tutorial, I bought some items using your link
Awesome, thank you!
Cannot wait to try this recipe.....
Thank you for sharing the information about the dry ingredients and why you use them.
Thank you again.
🥰💕
Thank you, Ellen! This is a great tutorial and I appreciate your in depth teaching. I just made this recipe and used the same bee molds but it only made 9 & 1/2 bars. I have a digital scale and measured everything exact. The only difference is I did not add a fragrance oil. Not sure why mine came out less 🤷♀️.
Interesting.... I wonder if different manufacturers of the molds are slightly different.?.
Ruth Ellen, nice recipe for lotion bars. I tried adding the arrow root powder, colloidal oats and even tapioca starch and rose hip powder, I liked them all. In different combinations too for different benefits. I like how it leaves a silk finish on the skin. Thank you for the inspiration. Be gone dry skin. The colloidal oat formula works great on facial sunburn or wind burn as well.
Jill Gross
I'm so glad you're enjoying the recipe, and experimenting with it!!
You can use your chopstick to pour into your mold with no worry about drips. Also I use a jewelry scale to weigh out my fragrance. I put the fo/eo container on the scale, tare it out and use a pipette to remove the amount needed for the recipe. Ardent follower, thank you!
Those are great tips! Thanks for sharing!
Great video!! A UA-cam live with you would be wonderful! Hopefully that is in the works sometime in the future.
Thank you. I'm super intimidated about doing a live, but maybe someday...
I just made some new lotion bars myself yesterday lolz. It's that time of the year, that and I wanted to try a new recipe for them.
Yes, with all the hand washing, and winter skin... These are great💕
You inspired me to my own soap making journey.
That’s great💕
Me too! My go to for inspiration. And instruction. Thank you.
She did me too over a year ago and I always look forward to her videos. Happy soapmaking 💚🧼
@@gimomable I’ve watched some, over and over. So much information.
I just want to thank you for sharing this recipe. I have been making soaps for 6 years and have tried multiple times to add lotion bars to my product line. Every recipe I have tried has been greasy (no matter how much arrowroot I would add). I thought I would give yours a try and it is fabulous. Thanks so very much for sharing!!
You are so welcome!
Ooooo ive been thinkin of doing these but idk..i have these Gorgeous flower silicone molds that would look lovely as a solid lotion bar..hmmmm..THANKS Ellen Ruth you beautiful scientist you!✨🌟
🥰💕 have fun creating
I am excited to try this recipe! Thank you Ellen! I can’t believe how much your channel has grown the past year! 😍
Let me know how you like the recipe! I feel very blessed and humbled by the growth💕
Omg I love the bars and you are soooo beautiful!!!
🥰💕
Hi Kailey!!
@@theycallmechar3341 Hey girl!!
Thank you so much for sharing all of this (particularly the packaging information). This has been the one thing holding me back from selling in my local country stores. It has been such an overwhelming thing to try and figure out. This looks simple, fun, and something my kiddos can help with.
You're so welcome 💕
Fantastic recipe Ellen thankyou, just wondered if you knew if they would work in a large twist up tube?
Yes, I think it would be great in a tube.
Ellen you are such a sweet member of our community, lovely to watch and listen to
Thank you so much🥰 I feel the same about your videos 😉💕
I just tried this! I did Shea butter, coconut oil, meadowfoam seed oil, beeswax, colloidal oats, arrowroot powder, honey, and patchouli & lavandin essential oils.
I'll let you know how it turns out. I also added a few blue cornflower pedals. Just for fun, but not so many that they would rub and break on your skin.
Sounds wonderful 💕
Hi Ellen, This was such a great video - thank you!! I tried to do solid lotion bars this week, I didn't use your recipe, but it is very similar. For some reason my arrow root didn't mix well. I even stick blended it at one point. It sank to the bottom and became very grainy. (insert sad face here) xxx
It helps if you mix it in during the cool down, it will suspend better. Also, make sure it’s a super fine powder.
Ellen, I love your Channel and you are so down to earth it makes me feel like I have known you forever. ( I wish) I have tried to make your recipe and several others and my lotion bars always seem to be too greasy. I live in Colorado and it is dry here and yet they are still too greasy. Do you have any suggestions? Thank you in advance. Please keep doing your videos, you are awesome.
Thanks for watching! These bars are going to have a buttery/oily feel due to the ingredients, but you could try increasing the arrowroot powder and see if you like that finish.
I’m new to your channel and I just made these bars. I don’t know why but I got 11 bars and not 12, and I didn’t fill them to the rim. I ordered the same molds and tins and scale from Amazon so there is no difference in sizes, just a fluke I guess. But I’m very excited about these bars. I’m looking forward to what you have coming and I’m still looking through your videos you have posted.
I get my beeswax from a local beekeeper and she told me to put it in the freezer. It makes it easier to break up once frozen....such a time saver!!!
Thank you! That's a great tip!
Your Amazing! ❤ Thank you for sharing👍Subscribed and will share🎆
Thanks and welcome🥰
Hi Ellen! I use that exact Beeswax 🐝 as of 2 months ago and I love it. Cutting into that big chunk of Beeswax would be challenging because it does get rock hard.
👍💕
Grating beeswax will drive you buzzy!!!
Tip : You have massive Block of Bees Wax from a Friend, a Beekeeper etc... But you only need a Tad !?! No time to melt the whole darn thing !?! 😜
Get yourself a Deep Roasting Pan (maybe a defunct : non stick peeling off one, not fit for perfect cooking purposes) Add it to a Warm Oven that's finished doing a Big Roast, Bake, Cooking etc... We want that Hot Oven temps in that Metal and Shelving ! (Turned Off !) .... But its still warm enough to melt Wax.
Add that, and a Food Foil Container on it. Add your Block of Bees Wax in that Foil Container (Strong Reusable kind)... And allow a % of Melt, so you get a bit of Melt, say an Ounce or too. Or say 1/4 Inch Thick Piece. More time in Oven as it cools down, equals more Melt = More Wax ! More gets melted ! 👀
Once done. The cooled down Wax will be Brittle. Twist that Foil Container ... and you get Shards or Flakes of Wax !
Enough for a Hand Bar Recipe. Save Tray and Container, and the Block of Wax for the next used oven moment ! Simples. 😎
Here in Scotland to save on Waste Plastic, our Food Stores offer up "Mesh Draw String" Veggie Bags... to buy eg loose Carrots, Potatoes etc in. (Very Fine White Mesh Fabric, like Screen Mesh )
Each Baggie costs 30p (50C) they last for ages and ages, if you don't Heat (Melt material !) You hand wash them in Laundry Soda with a bit of Bleach. Keep labelled for eg Honey Strainer, for Wax only. You get the idea. 🤗 They are 'fairly' heat resistant, in that you can pour "Warmed Honey" through them (this filters out wax particles, dust, even odd Bee legs .🤭 When we harvest our Honey.) The same applies to our x3 Filtering of Wax process.(to super Pure Smoothness !) Eg Competition Grade for local Honey Show. We do process x3 times. Adding Kitchen Paper into last Bag / Pour !
.... Or use Ladies Tights, (Pantie Hose in USA ?)
Same filter effect and result.
These Baggies work great to filter Warmed Wax as well.✔️
Place the Bag semi-streched across your Jug, pour the Warmed Wax (not super hot !)
through it. Remove the Bag.
[Any Cold Wax debris, can be hand Squeezed, makes brittle pieces, turn bag inside out... And collect the bits. These can be wrapped in newsprint paper, make a twist... And use as firelighters ! 🔥.... Or use wax where debris particles are not an issue. Eg in DIY Wax Melts : re Shoes, Wood Polish, to Stop, prevent Squeaky Wood Doors, Draws just rub a flake on it, gone !
Or if your a Beekeeper, get your Smoker really Smokin ! That paper and Wax really lights up good ! No Stings on my watch ! However my Girls rarely Sting me, bar the odd one ! OUCH...q 😆
Hey Ellen. Can you substitute kaolin clay for the oats? Love your channel. You are inspiring me so much!!! Thank you💓
Yes, you can sub it or just leave it out..
I love your videos. Thanks for sharing all the beautiful recipes that you make. I wonder if we can replace the coconut oil because in my entourage, I know a person who has coconut allergy. I wish I could make this lotion bar without coconut oil.
Babassu oil is a good sub for coconut allergies.
